India is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

India recorded his first hit in four days in the first game of Tuesday's twin bill, but that was not enough to earn him two starts on the same day. Alejo Lopez will replace India at second base.

Kemp is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Rangers.

Kemp heads to the bench with southpaw Cole Ragans on the hill for Texas. Jonah Bride will start at the keystone and hit sixth.

Massey is not in the Royals' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Massey will get a breather after going 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Sunday's win over Detroit. Nicky Lopez will cover for Massey at second base while Nate Eaton picks up a start at third, batting sixth.

Hoerner (triceps) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

A triceps injury confined Hoerner to the sidelines Monday, and he will open on the bench for one more day and possibly another, as the Cubs will have an off day Thursday. Zach McKinstry will handle the shortstop duties in Hoerner's place.

Garcia (side) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Garcia sat out a couple games with a sore side, but he is ready to return to action on the heels of a team off day. Garcia will man the keystone and hit cleanup for the Nationals on Tuesday night.

Gimenez is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Angels.

Gimenez is hitting .250 with one home run and three steals in 11 games this month. Tyler Freeman will start at the keystone and hit seventh.

Estrada went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.

Estrada was also caught stealing after his eighth-inning single. The second baseman has put up consecutive multi-hit efforts since snapping an 0-for-10 skid. He's batting .300 (12-for-40) with two steals, two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored through 11 games in September. The hot stretch has boosted his season slash line to .264/.321/.411 through 122 contests.

Lowe was left out of the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays due to a sore back, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It was a bit puzzling that Lowe was not in the lineup for Game 1, but the injury provides a reason for his absence. Manager Kevin Cash is hoping that Lowe will be available off the bench in the opener and/or be ready to return to action in Game 2.

Altuve went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base Monday against the Tigers.

Altuve tallied singles in the first and ninth innings and came around to score on both occasions. He was aggressive on the basepaths early in the game, stealing his second base in as many games and 17th of the season. That matches his highest total since the 2018 campaign, and Altuve has a chance to swipe 20 bags for the first time since 2017.

Lowe is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Lowe will likely be in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill, but he will not start both games the Rays will play Tuesday. Taylor Walls will man the keystone in the afternoon game.
